Abstract
We investigated the results of surgical treatment of 41 intertrochanteric femoral fractures using the CHS method over the past 6 years.
Subjects included 9 males and 32 females, with an average age at operation of 76.2 years.
According to the classification of Evance, 20 cases were stable and 21 were unstable.
At follow-up, 63% of these cases could walk, 17% could not walk and 20% had already died.
In the radiographic findings, both the stable and unstable type showed remarkable changes in collodiaphyseal angle and telescoping.
Post-operative complications occurred in 3 cases, 1 case cut out, 1 case of penetration and 1 case of necrosis of the fenemoral head.
